SECTION 2. OPERATION


2-1. FRONTPANELCONTROIS.
a. ON-OFF. The ON-OFFcontrol is a double-throw toggle switch which turns
the instrument on. The pilot light is directly above the switch.

b. OPERATE SE72
- 10-5 - SET lo-=. In OPERATE position, the switch allows
the log n amplifier to function as a logarithmic micro-microsmmeter. The
switch also allows the amplifier to be oalibrated at two points, 10-5 and
1oJl ampere.
C. SET 10-l-l. The SET lo-11 potentiometer on the front panel adjusts the
log n amplifier to lo-11 ampere when the PPERATE switch is in SET lo-11
position.
d. SET 10-5. The StT 10'5 potentiometer on the front panel adjusts the
log n amplifier to 10-5 ampere when the OPERATE!
switch is in SST 10-5 position.
e. RECOVER. The RECOVER switch shorts out the feedback diode and allows
quick dissipation of spurious charges which sometimes accumulate on the in-
put terminal. It also allows the amplifier to recover quickly from large
overloads.
f. AMPLIFIRR RALANCE 10-12. This potentiometer adjusts the amplifier
SET
balance to read lo-12 ampere on the meter when the RECOVER
switch is depressed.
g. OPERATE-CHiXKw. With this switch in OPERATI? position, the period
circuit is normal with the period input connected to the log n amplifier
output. In the CHECK position, the switch removes the signal from the
W
log n amplifier to the period circuit. When the switch is at CHECK 00, the
period meter should readoo .
h. SEToo. This potentiometer adjusts the period meter to 00 when the
OPERATE-CHECK switch is at CHECKoo.

2-2. REARCHASSISCONTROLS
ANDTERMINALS.
a. INPUT. The INPUT is a RN series receptacle, Military type US-560/U
(Amphenol 82-805).
b. +225. A polarizing potential of ~225 volts can be supplied to ion
chambers through an Amphenol %C receptacle.
C. &I V IOG N OUTPUT. Minus 80 volts are developed for full-scale log n
amplifier meter deflection, and one milliampere can be drawn without upset-
ting the circuits, through a microphone-type receptacle (Amphenol 80 PC2F).
d. 50MVMGNOUTHJT. Fifty millivolts are provided for convenient, dir-
ect connection to servo rebalance recorders. The internal resistance is
approximately 50 ohms.

0563 2-l
Ol?ERATION MODEL
421 MG n PERIODAMPLIFIER


e. 10VPERIODOUTKIT. Ten volts are developed by the period circuit
for a +3 second period. One milliampere can be drawn.
f. 50 MV PERIODOUTHJT. Fifty millivolts are provided for convenient,
direct connection to servo rebalance recorders. The internal resistance is
approximately 50 ohms.
g. DAmmG. The damping control slows the response of the log n amp-
lifier. Maximum damping is obtained by rotating the control fully clock-
wise. The control varies the response time over a ten-to-one ratio.
2-3. INHJT COI'TIWTION.
a. The current source should be connected to the INHIT with the high im-
pedance side of the current source associated with the central conductor of
the RN type receptacle. Avoid movements of the cable during measurements,
since spurious input signals will occur caused by capacitance changes and
generation of static charges.
b. The lead-in cable should be Polyethylene-, Polystyrene- or Teflon-
insulated coaxial cable; the plug should have Teflon insulation. For large
cables, Amphenol 82-804 plugs are recorunended; for small cables, Amphenol
82-816 plugs are recoxmnended. During the preparation of the cable and plugs,
it is essential that all high impedance surfaces be kept scrupulously clean
to avoid leakage. With graphite coated cables, it is necessary to avoid
tracking graphite onto the high impedance surfaces of the cut end of the
insulation and onto the Teflon surface of the plug. ,
2-4. OWm moc!EmTREs.
a. Turn on the power switch, After a &minute warmup, check the amp-
lifier balance by depressing the RECOVER switch. The log n meter should
read lo-l2 ampere; if necessary, adjust the meter-pith the AIQLIFIER BALANCE
contra Turn the log n erz"""' to SET 10 and set the log n meter
to lo- il with the SET 10' Check calibration by turning the OPER-
ATS switch to 10-Y position. If necessary, adjust the meter to 10-5 ampere
with the SET 10-5 control.
b. Check the period circuit by putting the OPERATE-CRFCK switch in
DC)
CHECK position.
00 If the period meter does not read-, adjust the SETW
control for the correct reading.
c. Occasionally recheck the calibration of the log n amplifier andthe
period circuit. Adjust if necessary. After warmup, only infrequent adjust-
ments should be necessary.
2-5. DAMPING.
a. The speed of response, or the time constant of the ion chamber and the
log n amplifier, depends upon the speed of response of the circuitry of the
instrument and also upon the capacitance of the current source and its con-
necting cable. Because of the method of negative feedback applied to the
log n amplifier, the significance of the external input capacitance is de-


2-2 0563
MODEL
421 LOGn PERIODAMXIF!ER OPFIRATION


creased; quite large capacitances can be tolerated without greatly increas-
ing response times. Therefore, a cable run from an ion chamber to the in-
strument is permissible.
b. Variable damping of the log n amplifier is provided by the potentio-
meter on the back of the chassis adjacent to the input receptacle. Maximum
damping is obtained by rotating the control fully clockwise. The damping
slows the response of the log n amplifier so that it tends to average the
statistical noise of the ion chamber current and the noise generated in the
input cable. Therefore, when the log n amplifier output is differentiated
in the period circuit, false short periods will not be indicated.
2-6. REWORDING.
a. The log n amplifier and the period circuit both have two outputs: one
for 50-millivolt recorders, and the other for auxiliary panel meters or
controls.
b. Fifty-millivolt recorders are plugged directly into the 50-millivolt
output receptacles. Roth 50-millivolt receptacles are Amphenol 80 FCZF.
The internal impedance is approximately 50 ohms. Resistor dividers for more
sensitive recorders can easily be made at the recorder input.
C. Alarm and remote indicating circuits can easily be connected to the
high-level outputs. Amplifiers and cathode ray oscilloscopes are also con-
nected to the high-level outputs. Terminal No. 1 of each connector is at
ground potential.
2-7. +225 VOLTS. A receptacle has been mounted on the back of the chassis
to provide t225 volts for polarizing an ion chamber. The potential is de-
rived directly from the electronically regulated power supply. The chassis
connector is Amphenol 80 C; the mating plug is Amphenol 80 M.

SECTION 3. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION


3-1. GEFNERAL. The Model 421 contains three principal circuits, the log n
amplifier, the period circuit and the power supply.
NOTE
The circuit designations used In this section refer to the
schematic diagram, 16298D, found at the back of the Manual.


Ixx; n AMPLIFIER PERIODCIRCUIT




FIGUF3 2. Simplified Circuit Diagram of Model 421.
3-2. LOGN AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT,
a, The log n aqlifier is principally a micro-micmatuneter whose logarlth-
mic scale is obtained by negative feedback from output to input through a
diode operated in the velocity field region. The diode used is an ~52 spec-
ial purpose tube.
b. The PA52 offers outstanding advantages in this application:
1. The insulation of the EA52 is of a very high order. Therefore, the
diode plate has very little leakage which would cause erratic effects in
the low current region.
2. Since this tube is an uhf diode, the capacity across it is minimal.
This results in a considerable improvement in response speed over instru-
ments which employ conventional diodes.

0563 3-l
CIFXXIT DESCRIPTION MODEL
421 IOG n PERIODAMPLIFIER


c. The feedback from the output is connected through potentiometer R106 so
that adjusting ~106 will control the potential in series with the output.
This potential is necessary to buck out the voltage across the diode in order
that the log n amplifier output can be kept at ground potential when the in-
put is at ground potential.
d. The amplifier of the log n circuit consists of two 5886 electrometer
tubes, V2 and V3, followed by high gain pentodes, V4 and V5. Feedback from
the cathodes of V4 and V5 to the screens of V2 and V3 stabilizes the plate
potentials of V2 and V3. Additional gain is provided by V6a. VT is a con-
stant-current coupling element between v6a and V6b, which is the cathode fol-
lower output for the log n amplifier. The constant-current coupling element
eliminates attenuation so that the output will develop -80 volts for full-
scale deflection. The output drives the diode feedback circuit, the panel
meter, the high-level and the 50-millivolt outputs plus the period circuit.
The circuit outpu potential is zero for lo-l2 ampere meter indication, and
-80 volts for 10' $ ampere indication. The 50-millivolt output is supplied
through a resistive voltage divider. The open loop gain of the amplifier is
approximately 10,000; the feedback factor is approximately 1000.
e. The calibration circuit consists of a 1.34-volt mercury battery, Bl,
and resistors RlOl, R102, R103 and R104. The log n OPERATE switch Sl is used
to select the desired signal, either 1C-11 or lo-5 ampere.
f. The meter calibration is established by alternating between the 10-l-l
and the 10m5 positions of the OBEFNE switch, which causes lo-11 or 10-5
ampere to flow in the input. The potentiometers Rlll and R106 are adjust d
until these calibration signals read properly on the meter. The SET 10-l?
control, Rlll, adjusts the feedback voltage in series with Vl and thus sets
the static resistance of the diode at one point. The SET 10-5 control, R106,
adjusts the gain of the amplifier and thus ad.justs the change of the diode
voltage with current, so that the remainder of thbscale reads correctly.
Once these adjustments are made, only the SET 10' control needs to be used
to compensate for diode drift. The other controls will require infrequent
adjustment.
g. With the RECOVER switch depressed, the log diode, Vl, is shorted out.
In this condition the logarithmic characteristic of the amplifier is removed
and the ci cuit is simply a linear feedback amplifier whose zero corresponds
to the lo- iEz position on the meter. The AMPLIFIER BALANCE potentiometer R116
adjusts the amplifier zero. With proper balance of the amplifier, dc voltage
at the input will be less than five millivolts in normal operation.
h. Cl01 is the damping capacitor which slows the response of the log n
amplifier. With the low impedance end of Cl01 connected to ground, the re-
sponse is damped the least. As more and more feedback signal from the output
is introduced at the low impedance end of ClOl, the damping is increased.
The damping control, RlOg, increases the feedback voltage until the desired
amount of damping is obtained.
3-3. PERIODCIRCUIT.
a, The period circuit is an operational amplifier connected as a different-


3-2 0563
MODEL
421 LOGn PERIODAMPLIFIER CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION


iator. C201 is the differentiating capacitor and RZOl is placed in series
with the capacitor to lessen response to very high frequencies. The feed-
back resistor R2l.l determines the sensitivity of the period smplifier. RZll
is returned to potentiometer R2Zl so that the feedback factor can be varied.
In this way, the calibration of the period circuit may be adjusted. Capac-
itor C204 slows the circuit response to about one second full scale.
b. The period amplifier consists of balanced 5886 tubes followed by a
12ALl7 tube connected as a differential amplifier. Feedback from the 12AU7
cathodes to the screens of the 5886 tubes stabilizes the operating point of
the 5886 tube plates. Vll, a cathode follower, drives the output meter and
the feedback loop. The open loop gain of the amplifier is approximately 200.
The circuit output is 10 volts for a positive period of three seconds.
c. The CHECK switch S3 in the CHECK
00 position grounds one terminal of
C201 and leaves only the grid of ~8 connected to the feedback resistor.
This condition corresponds to infinite period or no change in output from
the log n amplifier. If the period meter does not point to infinity in this
position, it may be adjusted by ~206.
d. D201 and D202 are zener diodes connected back-to-back to limit the
amplifier input voltage in case of overload. Substantial decrease in recov-
ery tti is provided by these diodes.
3-4. POWER
SUPPLY.
a. The Model 421uses an electronically regulated +Z25 volt supply, a VR
tube regulated -150 volt supply, and a transistorized -12 volt supply.
b. The +225 volt supply utilizes a type 6~6 series tube, Vl3, which is
controlled by a two-stage differential dc amplifier, Vl4 and V17. V17 com-
pares the B plus voltage, sampled via R3l2 and R314, to the voltage of ref-
erence tube ~16. The output of Vl7 is amplified by Vl4 and used to control
the resistance of the series tube V13. The polarizing potential which ap-
pears on the back of the chassis is taken directly from the +2Z5 volt supply.
c. The -150 volt supply is derived from full-wave rectifier V12 and a
conventional RC filter network. The minus supply is derived from a half-
wave rectifier, D301 through D304, and filtered with a three-stage RC filter,
R304 and C3O2, R305 and C303, ~306 and C304, and finally regulated at -150
volts by V15.
d. The log diode filament voltage power supply consists of an ultra-stable
transistor regulator which supplies 12 volts at 1.2 amperes. The regulation
of this power supply is better than 0.005% for a line voltage variation of
100 to 130 volts.

421 LOGn PERIODAMPLIFIi!X MAINTENANCE



SECTION 4. MAINTENANCE


4-l. GERERAL.
a. The Keithley Model 421 Log n Period Amplifier has been designed to give
long, trouble-free service. High quality components have been used through-
out, and the circuits are stabilized by a substantial amount of negative
feedback.
b. The detailed circuit schematic diagram 16298~ is at the back of the
manual. Circuit designations in this section refer to this diagram. Section
3, Circuit Description, contains an explanation of the function of the prin-
cipal circuit components.
4-2. ELEC'PROMETEX
IUBES.
a. Two pairs of electrometer tubes, V2 and V3, ~8 and Vg, are each located
in an aluminum can which plugs onto the top of the chassis. Each can is
labeled Model 4102 Input Tube Assembly. These tubes have been selected,
matched and labeled; the Keithley part number is EV5886-5. It is recommended
that the complete input tube assembly be kept on hand for replacement purposes.
b. A type EA52 electrometer tube, Vl, is used &s the log diode elementi
This t be is tested for logarithmic characteristics over the range of 10
to lo- E ampere. This tube must be selected to operate over this range; order
replacements only through Keithley Instruments.
4-3. INSULATION. All insulation for the high impedance conductors is made
of Teflon, &s are the contact insulators on the log n OPERATE switch. This
should give satisfactory service in all humidities. Occasionally, the high
impedance insulators should be inspected to insure that they are free from
dirt and dust, and they should be brushed off if necessary.
4-b.. CONNECTOR CAP, The cap for the input receptacle should be kept in place
whenever the input is not being used. In storage and in transport, it keeps
the insulation from accumulating dust, dirt and moisture. Before screwing
the cap back onto the receptacle, be certain that it is clean, so the insula-
t-ion will not be contaminated and so a low impedance bridging conductor will
not be formed between the high impedance contact and the grounded cap.
4-5. REFERENCE VOLTAGE BAITER?!. Battery Bl should be replaced at least
yearly. It is mounted on the PC board near the input receptacle; it is
easily seen when the bottom plate is removed. Replace with either a Mallory
RM-k0l.R or a Burgess Hg-I+OlR battery.
4-6. CALIBRATION MG n AMPLIFIER.
OF
a. Connect a volkmeter (recommended instrument is the Keithley Model 610A
Electrometer) to the 80 V MG N OUTPUT receptacle. Observe proper polarity.
Depress the PECOVER switch on the front panel and adJust the AMPLIFIER BAL-
ANCEcontrol until the voltage at the output is 0 volts (+O, -10 millivolts).


0563 4-1
MAINTENARCE MODEL
421 LOGn PERIODAMPLIFIER


There must be no positive output or the instrwnent will not calibrate properly.
b. Apply a lO-4 ampere current to the INPUT to obtain a full-scale deflection
on the log n meter. Adjust the IOG CAL potentiometer R135 (located inside the
Model 421 zimmediately behind the log n meter) for -80 volt output.
c, Adjust the SET 10-5 and the SET lo-11 controls as described in paragraph
2-4, a.
4-7. CALIBRATION PERIODCIRCUIT. If period calibration
OF is to be checked,
a test setup as described below is recommended.
a. To simulate the exponential change in reactor power level, a capacitor
discharge may be used to set up an electrical analog. The voltage discharge
mey be converted into a current by using a Himeg resistor to connect the cap-
acitor into the log n amplifier input as shown in Figure 3,




FIGURE3. Diagrem for Calib-
ration of Period Circuit
b. The period circuit, if correctly calibrated, should read directly the
time constant of the RC network (Rl and C) as C is allowed to discharge through
Rl when the key is opened With a loo-volt source end the key closed, the Log
n Amplifier will read lo- 8 ampere. When the key is opened, after an initial
transient, the period circuit should read RlC, In practice, C should be 1 to
10 microfarads and Rl varied to give various period readings. A time constant
or period of six seconds is a convenient calibration point. With the values
shown, the pe iod indicatio will be accurate from a current reading of
*bout 5 x 10-5 to about lo- 20 ampere and any period calibration should be
made while the current is in this range. Adjust the period meter with the
CffiIHRATE PERIODpotentiometer R221, located inside the Model 421 immediately
behdnd the period meter.
c. Note that since the instrument can only be calibrated on negative period
with this arrangement, the meter leads of the period meter should be reversed
for this calibration.
